"Here's my card, buy yourself a new suit and a corsage." Jakes dad said.

"I'm not going to wear a corsage." Jake protested.

"It's not for you. It's for your date." His dad laughed.

"Oh. Right." Jake said a little shyly. "I'm going to leave now."

"Wait, take Clare with you. She can help pick out the corsage." Helen called out.

"Fine." Jake breathed out.

"Son, who are you taking to the prom?"

Jake pretended not to hear the question and went out the door.

"I'll tell you." Clare said.

Jake came back and grabbed her arm and pulled her out the door.

"I'm not ready to tell them anything yet but that doesn't mean you get to tell them either." Jake angrily stated.

"So dude, how's the gay life?" Moe laughed.

Moe and Jake sat on the chairs outside the dressing room while Marisol tried on prom dresses.

"That's not funny." Jake said annoyed.

"Sorry. What's it like going out with a guy? Especially a guy that's your best friend." Moe asked while Jake looked at him in disbelief.

Jake wasn't ready for anyone to ask him questions but Moe was like his brother and if you can't talk to your brother then who can you talk to.

"It's sometimes easier and sometimes harder." Jake said.

"How is it easier?" Moe asked. Moe looked at Jake with an interested look on his face.

"Well there's no mood swings once a month." They shared a laugh. "Honestly though, being in a relationship with your best friend is so great. We already know each other so well. It's not like we have to pretend we're something we're not just to get the other one to like us since we already like each other. As for the guy thing it's not that big of a deal."

"Sounds like a sweet deal." Moe said enthustically.

"Are you planning on dumping Marisol for a guy?" Jake asked with a chuckle.

"Funny" Moe playfully punched Jake in the arm "so what makes it harder to go out with a guy?"

"Have you ever tried holding a guys hand or kissing a guy in public? It makes you kind of paranoid since we're new to it and you never know what people are saying." Jake said.

"How about this one?" Marisol asked. She came out of the dressing room wearing a strapless purple dress.

"You look like a grape." Moe said.

"You could've just said no." Marisol went back to try on another dress.

"Oh by the way how's the head?" Moe asked.

"Not bad. It's getting better. Eli has been taking care of it." Jake smiled and said.

"Has Clare at least apologized?"

"No."

"Where is she?" Moe asked while looking around.

"Gone looking at bracelets. I think she just wanted to get away from me. Which is fine by me. The less I got to deal with her the better." Jake answered.

"How about this one?" Marisol asked in a light pink sparkly dress.

"Well you don't look like any fruit so it's perfect." Moe said.

When they were finished shopping Jake went looking for Clare and found her in the flower shop.

"Here." Clare shoved a box into Jakes chest.

"What is it?" Jake asked.

"It's a boutonniere genius."

"Oh, thanks. Come on let's go."

"I'm sorry for hurting you. I was mad, which I still am, but it was uncalled for." Clare said without looking at Jake as they walked to the truck.

"Thanks."

Even with the apology the drive home was still extremely awkward.

"Why did you bring her?" Eli complained for the tenth time since they got to the store.

"I'm sorry but she wanted a new outfit and she knew we were going shopping. What was I suppose to say?" Adam said.

Eli, Adam and Becky had been shopping for only an hour and already Becky had gotten on Elis case about almost everything he's done in his life that she says god disapproves of.

Eli was trying to get through the day without causing a scene but Becky was making it harder and harder.

"Now I hear you sinned again?" Becky shook her head while looking at a plain yellow dress.

"I'm sure you'd consider everything I do a sin but just for fun what are you talking about this time?" Eli huffed.

"I hear you're now a homosexual."

Eli looked at Adam with a shocked look.

"I'm sorry but she's my girlfriend I figured she might finally be alright with this kind of stuff. I guess I was wrong." Adam exclaimed.

"First of all I'm not a homosexual I just happen to love a guy and second what I do is none of your business." Eli said.

"You're right it is none of my business but it is gods business."

"Becky, please give it up." Adam pleaded.

"I'm just trying to get him to see what he's doing is not the right path." Becky explained.

"If there is a god I think he would know that Jake makes me happy and that would be enough." Eli said with a growl.

"Being a homosexual is a sin. It says so in the bible." Becky continued.

"You mean that book that was written hundreds of years ago? Do you think, according to the bible, it's ok to be dating a transsexual?" Eli looked at Adam who looked offended. "I'm sorry for bringing you into this but I'm just trying to make a point."

Adam nodded and Eli knew he understood.

"Maybe you should get your information from something a little more up to date" Eli focused his attention back on Becky "and for the second time I'm not gay."

"You're going out with a guy." Becky said.

"I've also gone out with girls. I don't know what I am and I really don't care. It's not important."

"Becky there are some dresses over there you might like." Adam tried to distract her.

"Are you trying to get rid of me?"

"No. I just don't think this is the place for this conversation."

"Fine I'll stop…for now." Becky said.

When Becky went to check out the dresses Eli looked at Adam "thanks dude."

"Let's just find you a suit and get out of here." Adam said.
